A Call For Unity

Mollie Hemingway, Ed. · December 13, 2012 at 4:00pm

It's been kind of an intense week here at Ricochet. We've been fighting about fornication. We've been hashing it out about chivalry. We've been talking about what marriage is and its relationship to the state.

This has led to some disgruntlement among us. The casual conversation has been a bit more heated than normal.

We need unity. We need something we can all agree on.

I've found it.

We can all agree that meggings are a Code of Conduct violation, right?

Meggings are the fashion equivalent of a crime against humanity.

NYC cab...figures, only in NY!! My sister-in-law works in the fashion industry and meggings are tame by comparison.

So glad I left NYC years ago!! (coming from a born & bred New Yorker...)

I'll be the contrarian (surprise!)

Meggings + Rapiers = hot!

I do agree that guy in the picture, not so much.

Just like a woman, wanting to keep all the really cool stuff to herself and her sisters.

If there were ever an issue where bigotry and discrimination ruled the day it would be the violation of men's right to wear women's clothes without shame and ostracization.

Afterall, women get to wear tight sweaters to show off their assets. Men should be able to let their man light shine and garner it's due admiration under the form fitting and just modest enough miracle of latex fibered clothing.

And don't even think about disparaging my manpri pants, oppressor.

At the risk of violating the CofC, I think we can safely say that this is a single-generation phenomenon, as I cannot imagine any male wearing this sort of thing being of a persuasion that will ever breed.

I'm sure that some of the ladies wouldn't mind seeing certain men in leggings (I refuse to use the other term - that perversion of the English language is as big a violation as the article of clothing itself), but I am equally certain that no one would want to see me wearing them.
